Fairy Cakes puts gourmet vegan cupcakes on the map

About this story

With conventional cupcake shops very rarely providing vegan or gluten-free options—let alone vegan or gluten-free options that actually taste good—dietary-restricted cupcake lovers are often left without dessert. But with the opening of Fairy Cakes, a gourmet vegan cupcakery on Fraser Street in Vancouver, customers with specific dietary needs now have a place to indulge.

Recognizing the unique value and great product that Fairy Cakes would provide to the community, Vancity stepped in with a microloan to help get the cupcakery off the ground, as well as business advice and help with promotion.
